Literature is a wide and interesting subject, and Italy has always been proficient in it: there are many authors and even more books that made it into school textbooks, so we decided to recommend you 7 of them among the most important. You have certainly already heard about some of these books or their authors, but i’m fairly sure you probably don’t know everything about them. So i will try to expand your knowledge of Italian literature without boring you. Are you ready? Let’s begin!

In this lesson, we will talk about a topic that’s very close to the hearts of Italians as well as that of anyone else: love. The force that pushes the world, the source of our desires, the most beautiful out of all the emotions. Brace yourself, because in this video we will teach you how to be fresh and original when it comes down to expressing your feelings. You won’t find yourselves looking for the right words to crown the perfect moment, because you will already have them ready to use.

In this lesson I want to talk about a serious problem afflicting the Italian language! One of those problems that prevents many foreign students from understanding, at first reading or listening, what is being said or written: enantiosemy, a linguistic phenomenon by which some words, in Italian, indicate one thing… and its exact opposite! Obviously, the word affected by this phenomenon was not born with two opposite meanings, but it has acquired one of them over time.

In this lesson, we will explain how to use the word “davvero” that you certainly have used or have heard countless times! Indeed, it is a very flexible word that can be easily adapted to many different situations and that can appear in affirmative sentences, exclamatory sentences, and questions. But don’t worry! In this lesson, we will teach you a lot of alternatives that will allow you to not always use the word “davvero”. Are you ready? Let’s get started!

In this lesson, we will talk about a very interesting topic that is an important part of Italian history and culture and that those who are studying the Italian language should know at least a little bit about it. We will explain in broad outlines how the Italian political system works, without boring you too much (although it won’t be easy!). Are you ready? Let’s get started!

In this lesson, we want to talk about a topic that is very important for those who want to improve their Italian and learn how to use words correctly in different situations and contexts. Specifically, we will look at some informal expressions and their formal versions, using a lot of examples that will help you understand and memorize them. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
